Senior Director, Product at Bird
Relationship
How we worked together
Björn and I worked together for many years at Bird across numerous product features and integrations with third-party mobility platforms, including Forest and Lyft. He brought a rare ability to take complex products, explain them in simple terms, and keep the team sharply focused on the priorities that mattered.

What I learned
I have worked with many product managers throughout my career, and the partnership Björn and I had at Bird still feels like one of the best. His clarity, product judgment, and disciplined prioritization continue to shape how I think about strong engineering and product collaboration.

My story at Bird
Björn and I partnered across years of Bird product work, including integrations that brought Forest and Lyft into Bird's broader mobility ecosystem. When he joined, he kept reminding me how impressed he was by Habitat. By then I thought of Habitat as simply the operating system we ran on, so his perspective was a valuable reminder to step back and recognize what the team had built.
